Black beast savages calf in night attack on moors

Farmers in Puxton and Hewish are on red alert after reports of a large, black, panther-like beast roaming the moors.

One man has had a three-day-old calf savaged and another attacked while other landowners have reported sightings of the beast on the Dolemoor Moors.

Mark Penfold and girlfriend Claire Matthews, of Box Bush, discovered the calf's savaged carcass when out checking the cattle.
